Anyhow, probably the last print I'll have time to work on before the con (since I have other things to get ready, and we're going to print it all up tomorrow!), and this one has a little history to share!

First off, I started this picture in 2009. I had mostly everything sketched up, except three panels, and half of them were completely finished, when I just stopped working on this for years. Usually, when I look bad at old art, I'll cringe on some details, but somehow it didn't happen with this one. I still liked it and felt sorry it was never finished (by the way, it's ETCZ's binder cover, as the title says; I place my trad art in binders depending on stories) so it was always kind of in my face.

Now yesterday I was trying to figure out what kind of print to do for ETCZ, and trying to sketch, nothing interesting came up and then I just decided to finish this thing because why not. It's funny how my style hasn't changed too much in these years (though the sky and Yfa panels being next to each other kind of make it obvious if you take the time to really look at it).

Also, ironically, the best panels are the ones I drew 3 years ago. Shame on me. 8T;;; I really need to go back to drawing with copics again.

Oh, and I had started this before all of my copics were stolen (a few months before that probably), and a pretty interesting thing happened. Back then I drew all the things I could with the colours I had and left out the rest to work on when I'd get the proper colours. Now since I bought back most of them but my colours are a bid different, I could finish the other half without any problem. Guess that worked out nice, huh?

I wish I could've included Yarn, Pad, Kesshite and maybe some others, but that's okay, the important characters are here ;7;;;;

Wow. I should get copics, they scan out awesome ;-;I'm in love with Chuuya's panel rolfmao //kickedThis whole pic is beautiful, there're a few different-looking styles to give variety IDK IT'S AWESOME KAY //dies

Wow xDDOooooh agesI was gonna ask if Natsu liked Chuuya then I remembered his enthusiastic reaction to free tickets for her concert in chapter 1/2 lolidk all your characters so I wouldn't know //brickedHow many characters do you have that are yours each in 4fe and ETCZ? I have like 67 all in one story and making more //punchbombed

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. ETCZ's characters ALL belong to me, save two. The list is here so you can have fun and count it LOL;;; [link] (also title changed to 'Combat' not 'Chibi', gotta fix it) and some others will probably show up.

As for 4fe, the list is here: [link]and apart from the four at the bottom (and one who needs to be added), they all belong to me, though I sort of share Life, Charlotte, Mage and Noah (who hasn't showed up yet). By share I mean that my girlfriend came up with their concepts, but I did the developing. c:

the ones at the bottom were stolen from friend stories and used as cameos in 4fe with their permission to entertain them if you will. Mallory and Split belong to *kidann who picked one of MY characters and used her as one of the main characters in hers, so it's a way to do an exchange! Richard was created for 4fe, so then again it should probably be with the first list. Jake is borrowed from ~Kikiine who helps me a great deal with testing stories and always reads everything fervently. Also she hates me from times to times for never giving her any spoiler 8D <3

SAME HERE except this one drawing which I guess I put a lot of effort into EVEN THOUGH I REMEMBER DOING SOME OF IT FROM THE INSIDE OF A CAR DURING AN ARCHERY COMPETITION SO WHO KNOWS. Also wtf I used to have pretty purples *points Chuuya* PRETTY PURPLES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN COPICS.

It's actually pretty sad my art hasn't improved a lot for it to be needing a change? 8T;;;
